NEW INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO: STRATEGIES AND MEASURES
ABSTRACT
This article will primarily allow a definition of the strategic development of ICT in the Democratic Republic of Congo, to be put forward. For the most part it involves the precision of many types of measures and strategies (such as institutional, regulatory, infrastructural measures), human resources, the development of content and partnerships, all of which do not yet exist in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
While encouraging an active and sincere partnership between public and private sectors, with all the difficulties this implies, this article will also allow for the recognition of the role that ICT can play in the development of Democratic Republic of Congo, if correctly integrated and adequately used, as well as conform to the Democratic Republic Congo’s norms and realities.
Taking into account the near absence of laws and regulations about the use of ICT in the Democratic Republic of Congo, we have put forward several pertinent strategies and measures and have suggested appropriate ways of executing them.
